DIMENSIONS FOR
PIPE THREADS WHERE PRESSURE-TIGHT
JOINTS ARE MADE ON THREADS

( Third Revision)
( ISO Title: Pipe Threads Where Pressure-Tight Joints are Made on Threads - Part 1:
Designation,. Dimensions and Tolerances)

National Foreword

This Indian Standard (Third Revision) which is identical with ISO 7/1-1982 'Pipe threads
where pressure-tight joints are made on threads ~ ParL:! : Designation, dimensions and toleran-
gees', issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Indian
!; Standards Institution on recommendation of the Screw Threads Sectional Committee and approval
;;
,.. of the Mechanical Engineering Division Council.
g This standard was originally issued in 1955 and was revised in 1964 and 1975, the last version
w being based on ISO/R 7 'Pipe threads for gas list tubes and normal fittings where pressure tight
;; joints are required on the threads -1/8 inch to 6 inch' issued by ISO, and on BS 21 'Pipe threads'
g issued by British Standards Institution. This revision oUhe standard has been made by the adop-
.:.: tion of ISO 7/1-1982 to bring it in line with the latest ISO standard
CI!

~ In the adopted standard certain terminology and conventions are not·identical with those used
o,.. in Indian Standards; attention is specially drawn to the following:
() Comma ( , ) has been used as a decirnal marker while in Indian Standards the current
practice is to use full point ( . ) as the decimal marker.

Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear, referring to this standard, they should
be read as 'Indian Standard'.

1 SCOi:C and field of application
This Part of ISO 7 specifies the designation and lays down the
dimensions and tolerances of pipe threads where pressure-tight
joints are· made on the threads.
These threads are intended for tubes suitable for screwing, and
for cocks, valves and any fittings to be connected to screwed
tubes. Ifcon~idered necessary, an appropriate jointing medium
may be used' on the thr~ad to ensure pressure-tight joints.
The 1116 size is given solely for connector threads (see
ISO 1179); it is not intended that there should be a size of tube
to match this thread.
ISO 712 deals with the inspection of these threads.
For pipe threads where pressure-tight joints are not made on
thethreads, see ISO 228/1.

3 Definitions
The following terms relate to pipe threads.
3.1 gauge diameter: The basic major diameter of the
thread, whether external or internal.
3.2 gauge plane: The plane, perpendicular to the axis, at
which the major cone has the gauge diameter.
NOTE - VVhenthere is a chamfer at the start of the thread not ex-
ceeding one pitch in lehgth (see 3.4) the gauge plane is theoretically
located for internal threads at the face of the thread, and for external
threads at a distance equal to the basic gauge length from the small
end of the thread.
3.3 gauge length : On an external thread, the distance from
the gauge plane to the small end of the thread.
3.4 complete thread: That part of the thread which is fully
formed at both crest and root.
NOTE - When there is a chamfer at the start of the thread not ex-
ceeding one pitch in length, it is included in the length of complete
thread.
3.5 incomplete thread: That part of the thread which is
fully formed at the root, but truncated at the crest by its
intersection with the cylindrical surface of tb.~.product.
3.6 w~shout thread; vanish ·thread: That" part of the
thread which is not fully formed at the root.
NOTE - The washout thread is produced by the bevel at the start 01
the threading tool.
3.7 major cone: An imaginary cone which just touches the
crests of a taper external thread or the roots of a taper internal
~~ ..
3.8 useful thread: The complete thread and the incomr
thread, excluding the washout thread.
3.9 fitting allowance : The length of useful thread beyond
the gauge plane of an external thread required to providefot
assembly with an internal thread at the upper limit of the
tolerance.
3.10 wrenching al!owance : The length of useful thread
which is provided for wrenching beyond the position of hand-
tight engagement with an internal thread at the upper limit of
the tolerance.
